Brad Pitt Launches New Gin
According to The Hollywood Reporter, actor Brad Pitt has launched The Gardener French Riviera Gin with a French winemaker. His partners in this business venture include Matthieu Perrin, who belongs to the Famille Perrin winemaking family, and Tom Nichol who is an ex-Tanqueray master distiller.
The Gardener Gin is a London dry-style gin which means that no flavor was added to it after the distillation. It was distilled in France from a wheat base in copper pot stills with an organic botanical mixture.
The mixture contains licorice, juniper, coriander, angelica, and citrus fruits like pink grapefruit, lemon, and Cap d’Antibes orange. Several other celebrities like Dwayne Johnson, George Clooney, Ryan Reynolds, and Kevin Hart are also into the Gin business.
